The Man In the Van

O Homem na Van

The Man In the Van

A mãe dele me contou tudoHis mother told me everything
Ela tinha todo motivo pra mentirShe had every reason to lie
Lá na lavanderiaDown there in the laundromant
Como se a vida dele estivesse secandoLike his life was tumbling dry
Nascido pra ser lutadorBorn to be a fighter
Sem nada pra atacarWith nothing to attack
Colocaram açúcar no café deleThey put sugar in his coffee
E uma camiseta nas costasAnd a t-shirt on his back
E assinaram com uma canetaAnd they signed it with a pen
Agora ele tá na ambulânciaNow they've got him in ambulance
E nunca mais vai lutarAnd he'll never fight again

Refrão:Chorus:
Nada nos bolsos eNothing in his pockets and
Nada na mãoNothing in his hand
Aquele homem na vanThat man in the van

Lá fora no desertoOut there in the desert
Com o blues dos dinossaurosWith the dinosaur blues
Com uma mala cheia de ceraWith a suitcase full of earvax
E lápis nos sapatosand pencils in his shoes
As ruas estavam cheias de marionetesThe streets were full of marionettes
E os olhos deles como sangueAnd their eyes like blood
Estava chovendo crucifixosIt was raining crucifixes
Ao som de Billy BuudTo the tune of Billy Buud
Indo pra Los CrucesGoing to Los Cruces
Pra respirar aquele ar mágicoTo breathe that magic air
Eles têm algumas surpresas pra eleThey've got a few shocks for him
Quando ele chegar láWhen he gets there

Bom dia pra você, Dr. VardenGood morning to you Dr. Varden
Bom dia pra você, se puderGood morning to you if you please
Tem muitos pedindo desculpasThere's many go begging your pardon
Enquanto morrem aos poucosWhile they're dying by degrees
As portas do inferno estavam abertasThe gates of hell were open
Não tinha ninguém lá dentroThere was no one there inside
Todos estavam em Los CrucesThey were all out in Los Cruces
Dando carona pros porcosGiving their hogs a ride
Com jalecos brancos limposWith clean white jackets
E os olhos como vidroAnd their eyes like glass
Talvez ele aprenda a ir devagarMaybe he'll learn to take it slow
E deixar passar.And let it pass
